Bucking the Treasure Trend! (649)

Treasure Hunter - Buck & Baltoy!

On their way to the Sinnoh League, Ash & Co. meet up with Flint's brother, Buck. Buck is a treasure hunter and is eager to find treasure on a nearby island. Buck requests the assistance of Ash & Co. in finding this treasure. However, Team Rocket also overhear this information and decide to get the treasure for themselves. Will Buck managed to beat them to it?

-The meet Buck already in the ship
-In the island, Ash uses Infernape against group of Gloom
-In the cave Piplup is using his Hydro Pump vs Graveler, and Ash his Gible to beat Golem
-Meowth accidentally opens the door for Claydol
-Claydol blasts TR
-Buck's Baltoy beats Claydol and Buck captures it
-Seems like the treasure is pitcher

Buck and Baltoy are a good team together,i can't say a league team but definitely a nice team.
Also i'm happy Gible defeated someone otherwise it would have gotten weaker instead of stronger to the league lol. And Baltoy's move Gyro Ball I think was very strong, well done Baltoy.

Piplup and TR was very funny in this ep and it was so cool that Gible had finally won a battle, hope to see more of his victory in the league. I still found it funny how Gible use DM to find Piplup, overall this was a very entertaining episode.

Was this confirmed? If so, sweet! Also for the Animedex, there were multiple Magikarp in this episode when Buck dove to the ship on Mantine.

Last stage of grieving: acceptance??

Denial: Piplup hiding behind a tree thinking Draco Meteor won't hit itAnger: Piplup throwing a fit everytime after being hit.Bargaining: Contemplating going to a different trainer, to escape it in DP164.Depression: Piplup being sad that it's constantly getting hit in DP164.Acceptance: Patting Gible on the head for doing a good job with Draco Meteor although being hit!

Now that Piplup has gone through the five stages of grief, IT'S TIME TO PERFECT DRACO METEOR NOW THERE'S NO MORE FUN TO IT!

Besides that, it was a decent episode, nothing special. Hooray for Gible beating something... What was going on with the type mentioning by the way? I thought Ash already new what types hit effectivily against whatnot...

This episode was pretty good for a filler episode. It was nice to get to see Buck thus completing the list of Double Battle partners appearances in the anime. You know, I'd love to know how it is that TR managed to get a job on that ship. I mean did they just happen to have 3 vacancies or something? And I find it funny how Buck was facing in their direction and didn't notice their obvious eavesdropping even though TR weren't even being discreet about it.

As for the rest of the episode, I was completely enjoying every moment of the Piplup abuse. That'll teach it to be an attention hog. I also found it funny that TR got blasted off by an Onix when they have a grass pokemon with them. It was also nice seeing Gible win against Golem, though I gotta wonder, is that it's first battle victory since Ash caught it? And it's nice that Buck caught the Claydol at the end of the episode, thus giving him a pokemon he had in the games. But did Buck ever mention in the episode that Flint is his older brother?

And now for the random things. Is it just me, or did the trees and background not match the animation style when they were walking through the forest? It was like a bad green screen effect. Also what happened to Torterra? It was never shown being recalled by Ash, yet when they zoomed out, it was nowhere to be seen.

Blue likes the Dancing Trpinch so should you.If you approve of Black and White's new anime-only lead Iris, put this in your sig(started by TrainerOfLegend)

Gible says its ready for the league. But yeah this episode was pretty good It would've been better with atleast a mention of Buck being Flints Brother if he really is. Another thing Trick room wasnt used in this episode it was Light Screen I believe.

So Gible beats Golem in one attack, but it's not DEM, but when Pachi takes down Gabite it's totally DEM. Figures.

To be even more completely fair:

Gible send the wild Golem rolling after threesuper effective attacks. It wasn't beaten, but Gible did have the upperhand if you may, against a fully evolved pokemon. Which is more then it's achieved under Ash' control thus far.

Pachi didn't take down Gabite in its first battle. That was a loss by points, which was due to Pachi's Super Fang bursting through Gabite's Dragon Breath/Flamethrower whatever.. That contest had to do with being fancy, while that battle between Flareon/Gabite and Pachi/Mamoswine was won due to the amazing combination power of Ice with electricity inside it, boosted by Hidden Power, which has enough AMAZINGZOMG power to knock everybody out in one or two hits.. after being semi murdered beforehand.

Gible vs Golem: Gaining upperhand against a wild pokemon with super effective attacks ---> completely logical
Dawn vs Ursula in the GF: winning with a knockout that came out of nowhere ---> DEM.

To be fair, Gabite was trainer-owned with a type advantage. Golem was wild. Not that I think Pachi vs. Gabite was DEM! Just putting forward the logic.

How is that logic at all. Wild Golem would still have to be strong to be fully evolved.

Now that was what I missed. I looked away for a second and thought it was three separate Golem.

I don't need an explanation, I've seen that battle, and I'm not the one calling it DEM.

How did it come out of nowhere? Because Pachirisu came out of the ground? Ridiculous. Gabite is super weak to Ice-Type attacks. It being knocked out in that battle it totally reasonable, and not DEM at all. And don't even say the point system because that has been messed up since contests debut in AG.
